Bruce County is celebrating all residents that live in the Brucelea Haven and Gateway Haven long term care homes during Residents’ Council Week, from September 11 to September 17.

Residents’ Councils play an important role in shaping the place residents call home. These Councils bring residents together as peers to discuss issues of importance, and to stay connected and engaged in home operations and decision-making. The Council is designed to form the collective voice of all residents who reside in the long term care home, whether or not they attend meetings. All residents have the right to participate in the Residents' Council.

"We would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to our Residents’ Councils at Brucelea Haven and Gateway Haven. The Residents’ Council in both homes provide active and valuable advice to the home management teams to ensure that Bruce County’s long term care home motto of Residents First, Every day, Every way is being fulfilled”, said Megan Garland, Director of Long Term Care and Senior Services.
